Welcome to SQLSaturday #21

This event will be held October 17, 2009 at Seminole Community College, 100 Weldon Boulevard, Sanford, FL 32773. Admittance to this event is free, but to to the challenging nature of fund raising this year there will be a $10 fee due at registration to cover the cost of lunch (a great boxed lunch from Jason's Deli). All other costs are covered by donations and sponsorships. Please register soon as seating is limited, and let friends and colleagues know about the event.

Almost final update before the event! Everything is on track for Saturday, we will proceed regardless of weather. Visit our location page for general directions. Once you arrive on campus we'll be located in building "J", which is on the south end of the campus. J building is adjacent to the fire department training building. We will try to have signs posted to make sure you find us.

Parking is free

Very limited wifi available, recommend you leave the laptop at home and travel light

Please visit the check-in desk when you arrive. You'll get a bag with some event related materials, a name badge, and most importantly - your lunch ticket! If for some reason we don't have a ticket for you but you have paid, we'll work it out while you're in the first session

Lunch is at 12:30 and will be served outside. For those that purchased lunch the choices will be turkey, roast beef, and vegetarian. Please only grab a vegetarian lunch if you requested one.

During lunch we'll have a presentation by Confio for those that would like to see a great product demo, and Joe Celko will be holding an informal talk in the courtyard

Bring business cards, you're bound to meet some new people

We'll be raffling off some books and other prizes about 5:30. During the break between the last session and the raffle come back to the courtyard area for something cold to drink and some more networking

After the raffle join us at Jax Fifth Ave (directions also on location page)

Email is you have any questions, and we'll see you on Saturday!

One last minute change to the schedule, due to some great collaboration from the local Oracle User Group Joe Celko will be coming to Orlando for SQLSaturday #21. He'll be doing an information discussion about lunch that discusses his career, ANSI SQL, and more, and then he'll be doing a full hour session at the end of the day. One more reason to attend!
